Okay so this is a bit long so strap in. I’ve been working at my store for almost almost 2 years and I’ve never had to deal with a partner like this. This shift has only been with the company for about 7 months (she got promoted as a shift 2 months in), and she is the most manipulative horrible person I know. She is up all of the SM (in our district) and DM asses and they love her because they don’t see what she’s like behind the scenes. Even the partners at other stores that have had the displeasure of working with her hate her. She’s dating a barista and treats him so badly on shifts, literally bullies him. One day a partner called out and she called him OVER 30 times and demanded he come in 3 hrs early so her handoff could be perfect. She’s lazy and doesn’t actually do anything, just takes the credit for it. A couple of days ago she was closing (she’s typically an opener), and she was ranting to the baristas about how much the closing SSV annoy her because we are friendly with the baristas and make work fun (she has made multiple people cry on her shifts). I confronted her about this the next day and she somehow started to gaslight me and blamed everything on our manager. She is now going to the DM basically trying to get our SM fired just to cover her ass. Our SM is currently on leave to help his wife with her mental health, but I emailed him and he gave me his side of the story which really showed me that this bitch is a piece of shit (my opinion not his). I honestly don’t know what to do because she has all the managers on her side so no one will listen to me if I do go to the higher ups. There is a lot more to the story that I just simply don’t have the time to write, I just needed to get all of this off of my chest lmao thanks for reading.
